    Jimquisition: Creative Freedom, Strings Attached

    But who is judging what is "poor?" Why is the developer at fault for doing what they wanted to in one case (BioWare) but defended in another (Puppeteer)?

    Jimquisition: Creative Freedom, Strings Attached

    I wonder how many people who are defending game developers like Hideo Kojima and saying, "It's their game! They can do what they want! They shouldn't have to change it! If you don't like it, don't play it!" also pitched a fit and demanded BioWare change the ending of Mass Effect 3.

    It Never Ends

    I'm in total agreement with Bob on this. I dated a feminist for a while and she opened my eyes to a whole bunch of crap (I realized I was a textbook example of a "Nice Guy" towards this other girl). Though I wouldn't call myself a feminist, more like someone who wants true gender equality; I'm...

    Escape to the Movies: G.I. Joe: Retaliation

    That's funny--all the G.I. Joe fansites I frequent are pretty much saying "forget the first film existed, this is how the movie franchise should have began." From what I've read, I'm glad to see that Roadblock doesn't become the "ULTIMATE NINJA COMMANDO" like he's been presented on the toy...

    The Big Picture: Comics in The 90s: What Happened?

    Bob's description of why the speculator bubble burst (old comics were valuable because not many survived, as opposed to everyone stockpiling new titles they hoped would be worth money some day) is the exact same reasoning I give my friend as to why modern toys will never carry the kind of...

    Jimquisition: Monster Boobs And Plastic Children

    Right, large breasts do exist in real life. But ask any woman with large breasts if they'd enjoy running and jumping without any support like a sports bra and they'll probably say no. I know women with large breasts and yeah, all that bouncing can be PAINFUL. I guess that's the breaking point...

    Jimquisition: Monster Boobs And Plastic Children

    I just wish these developers would realize there are other fetishes than just huge tits and young-looking women. Do you have any idea how excited I was when Juri was announced for SSFIV? And Ibuki and Makoto? and Elena and Christie in SFxT, as well as Asuka's alt costume? Do you see the...

    Escape to the Movies: Expendables 2

    I haven't seen either Expendables film, and have no desire to. I did, on the other hand, see Scott Pilgrim about a month after release and fell in love with it. I totally ate up the film, the books, and the game. (Yeah, I read the books AFTER I saw the movie. Deal with it, hipsters.)...

    Escape to the Movies: Untangling Spider-Man

    Yeah, that's what I was aiming for. I would have elaborated more but I was at the end of my lunch break.

    Escape to the Movies: Untangling Spider-Man

    Is this going to be another of Bob's "Scott Pilgrim/Expendables/Transformers" personality tests, where if you liked this movie then you're an idiot and you embody everything wrong with movie audiences today and Bob places the degeneration of the movie industry squarely on your shoulders...

    Escape to the Movies: Avengers

    And if it weren't clear enough this is a Joss Whedon production, in two of her three scenes Pepper is barefoot.

    Escape to the Movies: Avengers

    Namor the Sub-Mariner first appeared in 1939; Aquaman showed up in 1941. I'm not saying Aquaman ripped off Namor, but Namor was technically "first."

    Escape to the Movies: Avengers

    That was one of the lines that made me laugh--when Cap gets the "flying monkeys" reference. Hey, I just realized something...

    The Big Picture: Untransformed

    You mean, "if High Noon writes it and doesn't have to trim out the interesting parts to stuff it into a boring, "Gears of War" style shooter." I played through WFC multiple times (achievement whore), and while the foundation for a solid story is there, they didn't do enough with it. I like...

    Escape to the Movies: Transformers: Dark of the Moon

    But Sentinel Prime isn't Spock. Nimoy isn't really Spock. They're just characters. This would be as illogical (see what I did there?) as expecting every character Liam Neeson plays to have a lightsaber and have trained Batman (though after watching "Taken," I wouldn't put it past him). Not...
